Переглядів 2,1 тис.3 роки тому

    Do these trackballs have onboard memory, so that once you program them, you can unplug them, and they will perform the same action, regardless of which computer you plug it into? Or are the macros/programming stored in software on that one specific computer that they were programmed on?

    I would have thought the threads would be threaded inserts, given that disassembly is an intended action as part of maintenance. As careful as you can be, these plastic threads *will* give out eventually. This could be sees as a form of planned obsolescence.

    So on the note of train controllers... When is the RailDriver going to be revised and improved? It's not an inherently bad design but the material quality is lacking and the capacitive resistance design is a bit convoluted - a lot of it could be done with more reliable tech like encoders.

    Huh was going to contact support about my “new” ltrac being absolutely covered in scuffs (actual physical damage to the plastic, not something that can be washed off) that make it look like a used unit (not even a refurb) but judging by 0:29 in this vid that’s how they all look. Honestly guys that is completely unacceptable for something so expensive. If for some reason you simply can’t store them in a more delicate and professional way you could at the very least have someone buff/polish them once assembled. And if you can’t even do that it is just scummy as hell to use clean, non-scuffed units in your product photos when you know full well you aren’t shipping something that will ever look anywhere even close to that clean.

    Before you reach for the screwdriver, you can also give the ball a few brisk, swirling strokes, which will knock most or all of the debris off the rollers. That alone has kept my L-Trac rolling smoothly for years now.

  • @harryvendryes
    @harryvendryes 2 роки тому

    I have the two external switches (Auxiliary S-Button) you make. Very nice indeed. However, they would benefit from being higher up, meaning less finger stretch from the trackball. Has anyone made or printed a black plastic, stick on base for them? More aesthetically pleasing than any old lump of wood. Finally... yes, the quality on these trackballs is superb, and works out of the box with Arch Linux.

    • @Shibu11229
      @Shibu11229 9 місяців тому

      Thanks for posting that they work out of the box with Arch. I use Pop!_OS and Fedora and don’t like installing proprietary drivers. Does it have onboard memory or are the programable functions stored in software?

    • @harryvendryes
      @harryvendryes 9 місяців тому

      @@Shibu11229 Hello there. On Arch, the Trackball works 100% without any extra software. Very simple... just plug it in and you're set to go. By the way - and know that I'm using a split ZSA Moonlander keyboard - don't bother buying the two very expensive external clicker switches. Wish I hadn't. A better solution is to have someone 3D print the angled base specifically designed for the L-trac (plans are free), with cutouts for two keyboard switches. There's a YT video out that describes how to easily solder the two short wires. No, you don't need to know anything about electronics. Just two cheap cables. I don't even think it's possible to solder anything the wrong way round. As I said, this suits me, as the split Moonlander is already angled and I simply plop the trackball in between the two halves. If you need more info, just let me know. Will have to wait a day though.

    Quality Control took a nosedive after X-keys took over the LTRAC from CST. I had to order two - the first one had erratic mouse motion and a chipped ball - and both look pre-owned out of the box with lots of scratches and divots. My original CST model looked and worked like new for almost 10 years.

    • @BvousBrainSystems
      @BvousBrainSystems 8 місяців тому

      The owner retired, and he liked X-Keys enough to sell them the company and have them carry on the legacy as it were. I believe the owner himself bought the design from another company that used to make it in the 90's. It's a very tried and tested design, i have one and it holds up to the best trackballs made today.

    @YiHogyun 3 роки тому

    couldn't your team re-jigger these to have 4 more button switches on them? As is with just 2 buttons, these are not useable for the vast majority of us. The reason the CST were never bought in any volume is due to this severe limitation. The Expert & slimblade with just 4 buttons is also severely limited. Because we are so used to mice with at least 7 buttons (right/left clicks, back/forward navigation, left/right scrolling, and ideally midlick for continous scrolling), these antiquated devices with just 2 clickers like those rudimentary mice from 1985 will never sell enough to be worth it for your company. Please consider it.
